Reliability Making Money — Case Study of just looking at a Weibull plot
podcast episode with speaker Chris Jackson
Reliability engineers LOVE Weibull plots. They often make sense out of a bunch of seemingly random points. Or at least we feel like they make sense. Anything that turns a bunch of random points into a straight line is automatically making sense … right? Wrong. It is up to us as reliability engineers to look at Weibull plots and work out what is going on.
In this episode, we look at an actual Weibull plot for an actual example – a mining truck. And the challenge will be for us to identify the likely reasons our engine is failing. And more importantly, what we can do to … make money. And yes – we actually know what was going on for real with our mining trucks’ engines. So let’s put our expertise to the test! If this sounds interesting to you … join me at this webinar!
